Abstract

CUNHA, António Camilo. The University and the “homo sabius”. Criticism/Criticism. Educação e Filosofia [online]. 2022, vol.36, n.78, pp.1389-1415.  Epub Jan 29, 2024. ISSN 1982-596X.  https://doi.org/10.14393/revedfil.v36n78a2022-65514.

The essay, in the form of criticism/criticism, seeks to look at the University in its political-organizational dimension. Through an interpretative reflection, supported by empirical evidence and literature - a methodology that departs from the canons of a scientific research methodology - it tries to “dig” the University and show two types of homo-politicus that exist in it: the “homo-violentus” (man - “violent”) and “homo-sabius” (man - “wise”). These two types of homos (of course, there are other types) then “incarnated” in decision-makers, managers, teachers, researchers, students etc. From these two types of homos we will have differentiated forms of political, cultural, scientific/investigative, educational/pedagogical and human intervention - in terms of information, knowledge, wisdom - and, with them, consequent implications for the mission of the University itself.

Keywords : University; Policy; Investigation; Pedagogy.
